Battery drain is indeed quite noticeable. I usually close wifi n data at night b4 I sleep. Before kitkat, it would maybe drop less than 10%. But after installation, it drops about 30%. According to some reports, it is due to the Google services like Google Now n location. I have switched off Google Now and will try to monitor again.

Yes I noticed that too. Seems slightly better after I reboot, but definitely still not as smooth as before update.

We have investigated the issue with Google Play Services using a lot of battery and we have identified that the root cause of this is related to the latest version of Google Play Services (4.4.52).

Until a new version of Google Play Services is provided by Google we urge users to either uninstall the latest update of Google Play Services (might limit use of Google Services like YouTube) or go to Settings > Google (accounts) > Ads > Tick the box for Opt out of interest-based ads and also disable back up of your data by going to Settings > Backup & reset (Personal) > uncheck the box for “Back up my data”.

If you are unable to uninstall the update for Google Play Services from Settings > Apps, go to Settings -> Security -> Device administrators and disable “Android Device Manager”. Also check the settings in the Play Store so that automatic updates is not enabled as this may update Google Play Services again automatically.
